Title: Defeating The Stewards
fickle - March 6, 2008 07:06 PM (GMT)
I'm a Liverpool ST holder in 306. All season we have had a on going battle with the stewards reference standing. Most of the season they have left us alone until about the 35 minute before coming in and getting us to sit. Then we stand again at an exciting point in the game...and so it begins again.
We didn't have a song that required you to stand to sing, we tried "stand up for a dying Kop" but a lot didn't like it.
Anyway the last 3 games they have been coming in earlier and earlier (after about 15 minutes) to get us to sit, and there is loads of them. Last night the tide turned, we have a song that loads of us all bounce to the second verse. Any time they came in to get us to sit, someone would start the song and before we were sitting we were bouncing.
At one point we they came in again the chant "we're gunna bounce in a minute" started..class.
Anyway the stewards well and truely defeated gave in and the bouncing was good laugh.
Message is simple, get a bouncing song, they just can't do trout all to get a 1000 bouncing loons to sit.

At the back we just keep to the traditional 'trout off and get a proper job' harsh but effective. At the bottom its more of a 'stand up and sing for leeds' less harsh but equally effective

"Stand up if you hate the scum" or "Stand up to piss the stewards off" are the ones in the Lower North. Works well :lol: They can't do anything about mass standing in the North stand so they pick on people at the front or the edges. Some stewards don't care about standing and laugh at the songs or talk to people like decent human beings during the game, others care and constantly patrol the steps like they own the place.

Sheffield Wednesday have something they sing and 'bounce' to, couldn't actually make out what it was but looked impressive with 4000 odd doing it!
And of course WBA's boing boing, but I can't help but think it's looked more lame in recent years, increasingly resembling the god-awful 'Tom Hark' dance we know and love

whilst i don't fancy the idea of enforced "bouncing" (sorry to those who do it - just seems a little bit twee to me) we could do with something at OT. "stand up for the champions (when it is widely responded to - which it isn't always) lasts as long as it takes everyone to stand up and then they all politely sit back down again without being asked. Leaves you even more obviously exposed if you remain standing! :(

Its only caught on once, but I liked 'your just a bunch of w*nkers', sung with passion. Really gets your thoughts across.

That's one of my favourite chants. Harsh, but usually well deserved!

And theres the reason why Chelsea are the most loathed team in Scotland <_<
I kinda feel sorry for some stewards for the abuse they get. You get some sound stewards who are on minimum wage and will happily allow the fans to do as they please, UNTIL the person in a suit and tie, tucked up in his cosy control room radios him and tells him to go into that group of 100 drunk fans and tell them to sit. Of course you always get the stewards who were bullied at school and enjoy the little power there have for 90mins on a Saturday.

A good one is just to laugh in an over the top stupid way. When a steward shouts out, "Can you all sit down!!" (normally without a please) 50 or 60 odd people turning and laughing in their face normally puts them off.

Pogo if you love the toon, canny for narking stewards, was quality at fulham and reading when the stewards were about this year

"Pogo if you love the toon"
"Stand up for the ...."
"lets all do the bouncy"
"boing boing"
I can't stand all that rubbish. Just me. Well not just me, it would never take off at Liverpool as it would be deemed as one big cringe. BUT...
The Bounce to the Torres song just happened. Few lads started it, and just spread. No mention of the words bounce / pogo / boing, just all start bouncing to the song. It works. More and more doing it today. And gets everyone back on their feet.
Took the p1ss today - stewards got everyone sat, so the song starts, all sat, then when the bounce verse kicks in, everyone jumps up. Bounce around for 10 seconds or so it takes, then all sat again for the next verse. Then en-masse, all up again for the bounce. Brilliant.
Roll on Old Trafford. The Bounce is coming!

We'll see how much bouncing you f.uckers are doing when you're 3-0 down after 50 minutes ;)

Will it be Ferdinand or O'Shea in goal?
"He gets the ball and scores again, Fernando Torres Liverpool's number 9..."

Hopefully you'll bring a better following than you did last year!!

I saw that bouncy thing on MOTD yesterday, in the background saw a group of stewards up in the stand then a fair few jumping up and down.

Is that the same tune as the O'shea song?

No it's the same tune as the "On The Bus To Villa Park" song since the 1960's and the "Look at the face of Michael Ball" song as sang since Gary Mac's last minute winner in the 2001 Derby at Goodison.
The same tune used when Owen scored twice in Rome in 2001 "and we all get blind drunk when Liverpool win in Rome..."
The tune you also use for O'Shea, yes.

"IF you don't bounce bounce your a blade"
Or something...
